They had a Club Championship one year and this 17 year old kid won the championship. Not only that but he beat every player in the Championship--something like wins against 9 players.

He contacted me. He was quite proud of himself and much too cocky.

He had heard I was a good chess player and he wanted to play me [and maybe beat me.] I told him "yes" but under certain conditions.

He would come to my house every Saturday and we would play a timed game with a clock. I would provide the drinks and refreshments and a pleasant area to play in. We would play a ten game match over 10 Saturdays..

I won the first three games but a couple were hard fought,

Then I won the the fourth, fifth and sixth games.

Should I let him win one of the games??? NAH I won won the 7th, 8th, and 9th games. He showed up for the tenth game and I won again.
